Conference feedback

Hi Henry. I am the guy living um Portugal with 20 years in aviation that you mentioned in your presentation. :-)
Thanks so much for putting these great materials together for us. I am surely becoming a paid member soon and will tell some friends to do the same, as it is really worth the buck. Congratulations for success of Proz and keep up the excellent work you guys do!

Great virtual event series. Thanks for this refreshment program.


Excellent!! Very useful, Thank You!!!


Great event. I found presentations very illuminating


I enjoyed each session I participated in. For the past 4 years, I have been waiting for this event.


I loved the session on interpreting with a tablet and also the one about the Burmese language. I took the time to review my Proz profile too! Thanks for your professionalism!

10:00 Apr 8, 2014 Drew MacFadyen: 601248 All http://www.proz.com/virtual-conferences/604/program/9439 is the first presentation on Deja Vu X3 and will begin in 4 minutes
10:01 Apr 8, 2014 ulzii: 1763290 All what is the best definition of "internalized parents"

10:02 Apr 8, 2014 Lbenito_atril: 1174606 All I think that Ulziisaikhan is confused.
10:03 Apr 8, 2014 Lbenito_atril: 1174606 All He seems to think that he can come here to ask questions abotu the translation he is doing. Perhaps we should let him know that what we meant is that they can ask us any questions they want about DVX3
10:03 Apr 8, 2014 Blandine-ATRIL: 1459982 All Ulziisaikhan, I think you are asking more a linguistic question rather than a tool question, maybe somebody in the chat room has an answer for you..?

10:06 Apr 8, 2014 Pavel Tsvetkov: 634408 All Also, I think I am voicing the concern of many Deja vu X users on www.proz.com – Atril needs to monitor more closely the Deja vu forum on www.proz.com and address the concerns and queries there.
